Plan A offers a greentech SaaS platform that enables companies to self-manage their net-zero journeys by calculating emissions, setting targets, and delivering end-to-end decarbonisation workflows. The company says all platform calculations and solutions align with recognised methodologies such as the Greenhouse Gas Protocol and the Science Based Targets initiative (SBTi). Its Corporate Carbon Footprint (CCF) calculation methodology is certified by TÜV Rheinland. Plan A is based in Berlin, Paris, and London and plans to use new funding to expand its team and further develop platform capabilities. The company is prioritising expansion across Europe, with specific focus on French, UK, and Scandinavian markets. The product is positioned for large and complex companies needing made-to-measure software solutions and services to decarbonise operations and value chains. Plan A has developed an integrated SaaS module that automates measurement, analysis, and reporting of ESG performance, providing a central data-management and reporting platform. The tool is aimed at sustainability managers, including those within VCs, to surface ESG ratings of subsidiaries, portfolio companies and suppliers. The company says the platform reduces data collection and analysis burdens for ESG reporting. Plan A recently closed a $10 million Series A at the beginning of November, six months after a seed financing in March. The company plans to expand its decarbonization tooling and Scope 3 calculations for various industries. Plan A, which currently has locations in Berlin, Paris and Munich, also plans continued international expansion, including opening an office in London. Plan A offers an automated SaaS platform for enterprises to calculate, monitor, reduce and report carbon emissions and other ESG indicators. The company emphasizes ongoing automation and continuous monitoring as differentiators versus one-off footprint calculations. Plan A counts customers including Société Générale, GANNI, AlbionVC, BMW Foundation, BCG Digital Ventures and Werder Bremen. Founded in 2017 and based in Berlin, the startup targets enterprise customers across Europe with plans for international expansion. Management says the product enables companies to turn sustainability into a competitive advantage and to comply with evolving regulatory demands such as the EU taxonomy. The company is positioning itself to capture demand from a market estimated at $10–$26 billion for emission management solutions over the next five years.
